The story of Sister is told through a montage of various home-movie and instagram-like smartphone footage captured in the period of 2020 and 2023. In these years, the director, after experiencing Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Covid-19 era struggling with the highest pandemic death rate in the world, decides to emigrate and start a new life in Germany. There, the footage is assembled into a film. With the dreams of home, faces from the past appear; places, images and feelings, too.
Zulfikar Filandra (1989) is a filmmaker and curator, working as Archival Curator in HfG Karlsruhe’s Open Resource Center. Zulfikar is also part of the selection team of Sarajevo Film Festival and the curator of Bosnia’s most recent contemporary art prize: Next Generation Media Art Award. One strain of his filmmaking is narrative, one strain is based on experimental cinema, archives, poor images and found footage.
